Myrkul, Lord of the Dead

Formerly a human, Myrkul is a deceased demigod that was granted power alongside the rest of the Dead Three by an unknown god who betrayed the Divines. Myrkul was part of the Dark Three before his comrade, Bhaal, turned on him and Bane by taking their lives and ascending solely to godhood.

Due to the nature of being a demigod, Myrkul can never truly die but he no longer has a physical form. Followers of Myrkul can still worship him but it would be difficult if not impossible to grant him enough power to ascend to godhood through worship alone. At one point Myrkul became known as the Mad Bard and separated himself from his former identity, going on to become champion to his former traitor, Bhaal.

Myrkul now shares the responsibility of handling the spirits of those who have died with Kelemvor, God of the Dead.

He wrote the Tablets of Myrkul, where he reveals the true history of the Dark Three. This is also where it is learned that his father is Tyrkul.
